Mayoral candidate Mike Ladehoff has always understood the value of hard work.

As a kid growing up on an Iowa farm, Mike was committed to his family, his assigned chores and contributing to a profitable growing season.

He has been exceptional at his job at Emerson-Fisher — a critical cog in the company’s operation. Mike’s efforts on the job has meant financial stability for his family.

And as a public servant, Mike is a visible and conscientious member of the Marshalltown City Council.

He is engaged in numerous activities while helping to craft policies that benefit the community at large. Mike is now a candidate for mayor — a position that requires vision, forethought and compassion.

A true progressive, Mike can see beyond what people want and what they need. He understands what’s really important.

Now more than ever, Mike Ladehoff is the change agent we need at City Hall.
